Lin Jiuyue arranged the things she had taken down according to their value, and soon they were all arranged.
"alright."
Lin Jiuyue didn't explain, and Gu Chengyan didn't ask any more questions.
"Toss the rings, toss the rings. One copper coin per ring. You take whatever you put on. Toss the rings."
After Lin Jiuyue finished preparing everything, she started shouting to the crowd.
Passersby heard Lin Jiuyue's shouting and came over curiously.
"Little girl, what do you mean by this hoop? How do you play it?"
Seeing someone coming over to join in the fun, Lin Jiuyue immediately started to introduce them enthusiastically.
"Brother, you have a good eye. This is a new way to play. It's fun and you won't lose money."
The middle-aged man who was called "Big Brother" never thought that at his age, he would still be called "Big Brother" by a little girl one day, and he felt very happy at the moment.
"Haha, you're such a sweet girl. I'm probably about the same age as your father."
"Brother, you still look young, so it's only natural for me to call you brother."
"Oh right, in my hoop-tossing game, you use this hoop to catch something I've placed on the ground. If you catch it, it's yours."
More and more people gathered around, and after hearing what Lin Jiuyue said, they all became interested.
"Hey, I've never seen this kind of gameplay before. It's quite novel."
"Little girl, how do you calculate this circle?"
Seeing that there were already quite a few people watching, Lin Jiuyue began to explain.
"This circle costs one copper coin. If you hit something, you take it. If you miss, the copper coin belongs to me."
When the onlookers heard that you had to pay copper coins to play, some shook their heads and prepared to leave.
But more people are prepared to stay where they are and watch the fun.
"Little girl, you can't possibly fail to catch any of them, right? Are you kidding me?"
Lin Jiuyue always had a smile on her face.
"Brother, how is that possible? Look at this thing of mine. It's only at this distance, even a child can't miss it. If you had better skills and could hit the things behind it, wouldn't you make a lot of money?"
Lin Jiuyue placed various dried wild vegetables in front and some pickled meats at the back.
The pickled meats are of different sizes and are arranged according to their value, with the ones at the back being more valuable.
"Your distance isn't far, but I'm afraid there's something fishy going on in your circle."
Lin Jiuyue: ...
"Brother, you see, I'm an honest and good citizen. I wouldn't do something like that."
"Well, if you think there's something fishy about my rings, then buy ten of them first. If none of them work, I won't charge you a penny. If you do, will you give me another penny?"
The man also became interested when he heard it.
One copper coin per ring isn't that expensive, and the gameplay is novel, so it's worth a try. If you don't hit the target, just consider these ten copper coins a waste! But if you hit the meat behind it, you'll make a lot of money.
"That's what you said. Give me ten circles. I'll try first. If I don't hit any of them, I won't give you any money."
When Lin Jiuyue heard this, her face almost broke with laughter.
"Hey, big brother, ten circles, not one less. You're my first customer today, so I'll give you an extra circle."
Lin Jiuyue first counted out ten circles for the man, and then took out another circle and gave it to him.
The man was so happy when he saw the extra circle.
"You are quite good at business, little girl."
Lin Jiuyue smiled and explained the rules of the game again. After the man understood, he began to play the ring.
Gu Chengyan stood where things were placed, ready to pick up hoops and take things at any time. This was also what Lin Jiuyue had instructed in advance.
"Ring toss, ring toss, minimum order of ten rings, one copper coin per ring, take whatever you put on. The first ten people to get an extra ring."
When the onlookers saw that some people had already started playing, they also felt itchy.
But to be on the safe side, these people did not take any action.
When I heard Lin Jiuyue say that the top ten people would receive an extra circle, I felt tempted again.
This circle is worth a copper coin!
"Give me ten too."
Finally, someone couldn't help but speak.
Lin Jiuyue happily took off ten rings from her arm, then deliberately added one more and said loudly.
"Okay, ten circles, and I'll give you one as a gift."
The man who got ten rings did not act in a hurry, but waited and watched the first man who put on the ring.
"Oh, I got it, I got it! What is that? It looks a bit like dried vegetables. Give it to me."
As soon as the man finished speaking, Gu Chengyan handed the dried vegetables to him.
"Little brother, this thing belongs to me, right? I won't charge you any extra money, will I?"
Gu Chengyan nodded.
"If you hit the target, it's yours."
The man happily tucked the dried vegetables under his armpit.
Although this dried vegetable is not a very valuable thing, after all, I got it by myself, so my technique is pretty good.
"Haha, my technique is pretty good, come on!"
The man who bought a circle and was still waiting and watching, seeing that the first man had already got something, began to get excited.
If others can use it, you can use it too.
"I won, I won, I won again!"
"Oh wow, I actually managed to get some meat! This piece of meat must weigh a pound, right? And it's already marinated, so I didn't even need the salt. These ten copper coins are totally worth it."
"Is it really that easy?"
Among the onlookers, there were those who were envious and those who were skeptical, but more people had already begun to think about trying it themselves.
Seeing this, Lin Jiuyue immediately started shouting again.
"Give me ten laps."
Soon, the rings hanging on Lin Jiuyue's arms were all gone. Not a single one was left.
"Sorry, there are no more circles. If you want to play, you have to wait until they finish setting them. Then the circles will be free."
Lin Jiuyue smiled apologetically.
Time was tight, so I made fifty circles, and now they have all been sold.
However, this circle can be reused. Once the person in front of you has finished using it, you can pick it up and use it again. It doesn't cost much.
"In order to ensure that everyone can play, please line up and come one by one. Don't be anxious, there are still many things to do."
Those who want to play with the ring don't need to worry. It doesn't matter if there is no ring now. Just watch the fun here.
Some spectators are even more nervous watching others toss the ring than if they were actually doing it themselves. This is the so-called gambler's mentality. But it's also more fun than gambling for money.
There aren't many entertainment options these days, and the ring-tossing game is considered a relatively novel way to play on this street.
Every person who casts the rings will get something, more or less. Some are dried vegetables, some are pickled meat. In short, no one returns empty-handed.
